Zwift Team Time Trials

Thursdays - 08:00 or 18:30

Zwift is an online platform aimed to make indoor cycling and training a lot more fun and sociable.

The Thursday WTRL Team Time Trials are the epitome of this social (but hard) racing. Over a 24 hour period up to 600-1000 teams of up to 8 members worldwide race around a set course with each team aiming to win in their category.

The most important thing to remember about this is that when riding as a team do so in close formation, this will help the team's overall speed (just like riding in a peleton on the road). There is no "I" in team, a solo effort off the front will not help the team because the team's time is based on the fourth member home (or third if the team is only three or four riders). It is therefore crucially important to work together and we do that by talking to each other on Discord

East Essex race as EEZ (East Essex Zwifters) and normally have 2 teams in the morning and 3 or 4 in the evening, all teams graded to the relative speed of the team members meaning there is a team for everyone.

We are always looking for newcomers to join and try it out, you can either join the East Essex Zwift Team Time Trial Facebook group or join the Zwift Team Time Trial channel within the club's WhatsApp group. We ask people to sign up before 5pm on the Monday before the race using the link provided.
